President Donald Trump threatened to veto every piece of legislation put forward during the second half of his administration if Democrats flip control of the House or Senate during next month’s midterm elections.
“Well, I think the Republicans are going to win. But if there was, you call it gridlock, what happens is I veto everything,” Trump told reporters Friday morning while speaking on the South Lawn. “And then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”
Historical precedent and polling data suggest Democrats are on the cusp of flipping at least the House next month and possibly the Senate, due to public frustration over the Iran war and high costs of living.
So, they will override his veto
They’ll notice, but then Fox will give them some talking points to justify it to themselves.
All the talking points in the world won’t bring down prices or stop them from hearing Trump tell them to their faces that he doesn’t care about them or that prices are high. People are starting to finally realize it, he doesn’t care about anybody but Trump. Too little too late? Maybe, but they are losing support. It shouldn’t have taken this much, but the fact that MAGA is crumbling is a good thing. Let’s take the win where we can. There’s still plenty of work, but everything doesn’t have to be all doom all the time.
